as long as the plastics don't shatter at the slightest impact

even if the ambient temp is hot, i wouldn't let your lipos get over 120F. it was 115F one day when i drive my rustler and my 5000mah 25c flightmax 3s pack puffed about 1-2mm and that was with a EZrun 3300kv 380 sized motor (the blue one with fins). i temped the battery at 124F when i had to stop running due to the motor being 190F despite stock 4" tires and 15/86 gearing

the sad part is, the pack never did go back to normal, but it is staying balanced pretty well still, so i'm not too concerned.
